*Jesus and Jim Jones* is a moving and incisive reflection on one of the most shocking public events of the 1970s. It contains the most far-reaching collection of documents about Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple yet published, including documentation of Jim Jones's relationship with organized religion and a transcript of the tape that purports to recount the final moments at Jonestown.
